Design certainly plays a role, as it is the medium of the candidates message. I always hoped for a discussion on here about political design, historically speaking. And contrary to voicof above, who makes a good case, I would argue that many people are not issue voters and are rather gut instinct voters (especially in the general election) and they have been responding intuitively to how a presidential campaign has been designed/manufactured.
They vote because one candidate seems "strong" or "trustworthy" and design and media goes a long way towards making someone without those qualities seem that way, and vice-versa, especially to a large swath of the population who know jack squat about the issues.
